ECOLOGICAL STUDIES ON TILE SYMBIOSIS OF TER ITOMYCES ...

Growth of the cultures on the selective medium could be divided
into two categoriess the growth of members in each category not being
significantly different from each other. Growth of the cultures from
111croternes spp. Ct D, G and Z was significantly smaller than growth
of those from Hicrotemps spp. A, 13 and Re
There was a significant correlation (r
," level
- e78") at the TO
betwoen the growth on the selective medium and the amount of cellulose
decomposition produced by the different cultures, showing that the
differing abilities of the cultures to grow on the selective medium
may be largely explained by their differing abilities to utilize the
cellophane overlay (Table 3-5-4).
In general satisfactory growth of all cultures occurred on the
selective medium.
